Three Mississippi men were each ordered held in lieu of $1 million cash after they were accused of trafficking a large amount of illegal drugs.

On Saturday, an Arkansas State Police (ASP) trooper pulled over a vehicle for a lane violation on Interstate 40 west of Russellville. The vehicle was occupied by Timothy Deshazier, 37, Michael Smith, 45, and Michael McPherson, 47, all of whom appeared nervous, according to a police report.

The officer noted in the report the three men had “bad stories” and Deshazier, the driver, gave consent to search the vehicle. The officer found a soda can with a false compartment containing a small amount of methamphetamine in the rear floorboard of the vehicle. In the right rear quarter panel of the vehicle, a large bundle of meth was found.

The ASP seized 5 pounds 14 ounces of meth from the vehicle, with a street value of more than $266,000.

The men were in a rental car with a San Diego, Calif., origin and possible destination of Corinth, Miss.

All three men appeared in felony bond hearings Wednesday. If charged, they will appear Dec. 16 in Circuit Court.
